adopting an animal
Adoption fees are based on the age of the dog with high-interest animals having a higher adoption fee. The adoption fee includes the animal’s spay/neuter surgery, flea treatment(s), deworming(s), microchip (w/free registration), and first year up-to-date vaccinations. Burien, WA residents will also need to purchase a city pet license at the time of adoption. All adoptions come with a 30-day return policy (subject to a 20% return fee).
**Please note, scheduling an appointment to meet a cat does not mean the cat is on hold for you, and the cat may be adopted by someone else prior to your appointment. If you schedule an appointment and the cat is adopted by someone else, you will be promptly notified.
